lyrics

This place is like metal. A sheet of copper that has been beaten into a series of endless wrinkles. Everything is uniform and nothing moves. Even exhaled breath soon turns to wire-wool. Between every wrinkle lies a solid lake which reflects gold under the low sun. Each one only part filling it's crater like a half-finished cup of tea, or an ancient shell hole that still rests frozen to ground zero. Soon the twilight dies and the stars take their turn to shine upon this great mock-lunar mirror. Each lake resembling a bright suburb of a city, it's lights many times older than the earth.
